I've made this. Very good. But oh my goodness, discard the whey? Noooooo! SO many things you can use this, you make ricotta with whey. Google how to use left over whey, 100s of uses. There is sweet whey and acid whey. This whey is considered acid since vinegar was used. Chickens LOVE it and so do dogs and cats by the way.

This was super easy to make, even though I used coffee filters in place of cheesecloth, and I did half the recipe because I was unsure of how it would turn out. I now see that the flavour came out a bit blah, so next time I will season it with herbs/garlic/etc.

Reviewer:

we tried this according to the recipe. it did not work. after we determined that it was essentially a waste, we decided to experiment to see if we could get it to turn out. after adding a lot more vinegar than called for, and waiting overnight before straining, it was not a bad bowl of cheese.

Reviewer:

Very neat experience! I halved the recipe. From 8 cups of 1% milk I got 1 cup of cheese after squeezing it in the cloth. It is bland but a good base to add whatever flavours or spices. I will be making this again. Thank you.

Reviewer:

This worked out great, though I didn't realize how long it would take for the milk to heat. I will read through reviews to see if a higher, faster heat would have been more efficient? With a medium heat it still scorched a little on the bottom, but nothing I couldn't remove (I stirred a LOT). I did not need cheese cloth, using a fine mesh strainer instead. I added pink salt after the cheese had drained, before forming it.

I had a half-gallon of water buffalo milk (yep, that's right) in the refrigerator that was getting close to its expiration. I used a thermometer, and guesstimated at the vinegar, since it was about 10 cups of milk. It curdled right away, and I added garlic salt and this herb mix my son had, and it was pretty good, a little rubbery perhaps(maybe too much vinegar?) Without the added flavors it would be pretty bland, though. I am saving the liquid whey I drained off and will use it in making bread in place of water. Whey is very high protein.
